Bridges: We build them, we cross them, and sometimes we even burn them… at TEDxMinneapolisWomen 2017, we will explore the many aspects of this year’s theme: Bridges, through a live stream from TEDWomen 2017, a community dinner and experiences throughout the venue. We are excited to be convening TEDxMinneapolisWomen 2017 in the historic MacPhail Center for Music.

At this time of deep divides and rising global challenges, we will hear TED Talks from entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and activists, thought leaders from business and civil society—bridge builders from around the world.
